My all time favorite quest

[Maggs]

I couldn't agree more. It seems to be one of Banshees' ideas to make items appear when and only when the quester has got to some point in the quest.

An example is the wheel barrow in Chinos' quest. You can search the place where it is supposed to be for ever and ever, but until you have got to the required point in the quest, it will never appear.

So how does that mirror RL experience? As you said, how does the player know to search the area doing the same commands at every point in the quest? It must be very frustrating to say the least.

With regard to that quest, she would be better forcing the quester to find out what the Magpie actually wants (as originally coded by Chino), rather than letting it just be killed - which couldn't be done originally.

Wait a second!  There's supposed to be a wheelbarrow??!

No wonder I wasn't able to solve that one!  How frustrating was that, and I had probably gotten far enough along (after several hours) that if it had occurred to me to start searching every room from scratch I might have found it!  Gee, and people wonder why I don't like to quest - this was one of the early ones I did try.

I can take a little pride in saying that I did find out what the magpie wanted and didn't kill him!

Chino's quests were superb++ originally.

Good work with the magpie too  

[Carrion]

Chino's quests were superb++ originally.

I totally agree.

[Snafu]

I third that. I remember both of Chino's quests quite fondly. It was sad when they were changed Not that I've tried solving them in 7 years or so...

Mine would have to be that "Build a new guitar" quest by that charming wizard...oh wait a mo...

No really, my favourite was Moonchild's Tower of Games closely followed by Tanya's Escape from prison.

I always thought Kobayashi was pretty fun.

I miss the days of doing Kobayashi solo.   I did that with Wanderer more than once.

Hehe, go at it then, old man, it's still doable

[Kherec]

Aye, Kobayashi is doable on your own if you like a challenge (read: if you're stubborn enough and have the time) *grins*.

The resets can be a pain in the arse though. But then again, with bad luck it's a pain in the rear end even for a larger party so don't let that stop you.

I hate Kobayashi  

[Coldiron]

this may sound campy, but i miss the turtle quest from a LONG time ago.  I think it consisted of bringing a turtle to church and involving the entire mud in telling the turtle "i love you" or "i believe in you" etc...

be nice to have a new quest based off the turtle's memory where the ghost of the turtle comes to haunt you and torments you with endless spam until you chase down the (insert least favorite NPC) who gave the turtle the low-self-esteem complex in the first place.

see you in NANNY

Hmm, I have a vague memory of this belt, I think I even used it... Please remind me again, who made it, where did you get it, what was it all about?

I don't know, but heard that the karate belt was pretty good too, who it was ... erm ... I know the name just can't remember now, that vamp used it a lot ...

[Kherec]

Stalker used the the karate belt and it was insanely good. If he was the one who had the highest skill or not, I don't know, but he was way up there.

Mishra made the belt, if I'm not mistaken ... I no longer recall exactly where you got it, but it was in his area, near the beginning I think.
